What surprised you about your labor?

I’m featured again on ABC News for their Million Moms Challenge, raising money for babies and moms around the world that are in need. If you haven’t yet, please sign up for the challenge!

This time, I wrote about labor. About how we all enter into labor and delivery with some type of expectations and fears and things could go exactly as planned (lucky you!) or, more likely, totally different.

Watch a LIVE homebirth online NOW!

If you haven’t heard yet, Dr. Nancy (Your Birth Coach) is live streaming her homebirth. She’s something like a week over due and I just got the email notification a few hours ago that she has recently started early labor.

Two memories of the hospital I CANNOT get over. Help?

I know I just posted about c-sections and sometimes I wonder how much babble about it my readers can handle, but I’ve been meaning to write about these issues for awhile and I wanted to address some of the comments on my last post… so I decided now was a good time for this post. Thanks for putting up with me

I feel I’ve made tremendous progress in dealing with my c-section. I still rant about it on occasion,
